WTH is up with "Too expensive, will purchase"? If it really was too expensive, you wouldn't buy it. Is this the option saying: "Price is ok, but please lower". What is 'too' expensive about it? I just don't understand.

It's probably overpriced, but I'm going to buy it, GSTL is my favorite tournament.

If you are Bill Gates and you are willing to spend $1000 for a GSL season, you would vote "too expensive, will purchase". I personally think it's too much but I'm in college and don't really have anything else to spend my money on, so that's what I voted.

Oh ya I realized that GOM really needs to have different pricing per territory. There is a reason Blizzard always talks about how they need to have the different pricing in different countries.

In Russia, for instance, researchers noted that legal versions of the film The Dark Knight went for $15. That price, akin to what a US buyer would pay, might sound reasonable until you realize that Russians make less money in a year than US workers. As a percentage of their wages, that $15 price is actually equivalent to a US consumer dropping $75 on the film

GOM could make more money from places like Russia if they adjusted the prices per country so that it is the same percentage of their wages most likely. I hope they realize this so they can make that extra money for esports.


That's pretty fucked up considering people in America make such a wide stratification of income. Maybe there's some Americans who make the same amount of money as the average income in Russia. Shouldn't the prices be lowered for those Americans, by the same logic?

Long story short, I've never bought a GSL pass and I never will. If I really want to watch it I'll stay up late and watch it for free, but honestly I just don't care at all about that scene. I'd rather send my money to American pro-gamers, thanks.
good vibes only

GSTL #2 is the only thing I have bought from GOM at all because I was tired of staying up late, but loved the team league.

Even I think it's not worth it. I knew they'd catch on and start price gouging the diehards eventually, but was hoping it'd only be for the main leagues I really don't care about anymore.

Here's what happening:

$10 for 7 games in 1 week = "yeah man I can TOTALLY afford that"
$25 for 25+ games over 2 months = "OMG TOTALLY TOO EXPENSIVE"

The problem with the argument that I would be getting more bang for my buck from my perspective is that I'm really only interested in the Quarters/Semis/Finals and not so much the rest of the GSTL tournament. The fact that I'd be getting 2+ extra months of content is largely irrelevant for me.

It's like the NASL, I watched a handful of games during the regular season (probably less than 5% of the total number of games) but have seen every playoff game so far.

If GomTV provided a playoff-only package for the GSTL for a fraction of the total ticket price, I'd probably buy that.

Less games and more expensive? Their bottom line must really be bleak. I think they overspend pretty badly--the GSL finals are always in half filled convention centers. I'd pay if it was a normal tournament. Since when did team leagues become important?

I already feel scammed when the last gstl was only code A casters... here gom: guarantee me that tastosis will cast every single match of GSTL and ill pay $25, otherwise no dice.

Slightly off topic but it doesn't warrant its own thread:

GOM's website says their is a live event later tonight but I don't see it on the TL calendar and none of the Code A or Code S brackets have been revealed yet. Is it an error on their part?

Only thing i really care about is the caster schedule, it dosent really matter if tastosis isnt casting 100% but they should ATleast do 50%+ for my to pay the ticket and they should post whos casting somewhere...

WHy do people bother posting after not even reading the full OP, much less the thread? It's more games for less money/game. And you must've not followed BW scene at all if you dont think team leagues are important lol
